Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion: Whitewater II
"Jake reports, I repeat:
Though his agency was charged with coordinating the federal response to the major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Department of the Interior chief of staff Tom Strickland was in the Grand Canyon with his wife last week participating in activities that included white-water rafting, ABC News has learned."

Democrat Obey to leave House after 4 decades
Democrat Obey to leave House after 4 decades - Washington Times
"Mr. Obey was first elected in a special election in 1969 at age 30.
He is the third most senior member of the House, behind only Reps. John D. Dingell, who came to Congress in 1955, and John Conyers Jr., who arrived in 1965. Both are Michigan Democrats."
America is about to become a better country!

Norton Shores OKs firefighter layoffs; city officials may seek millage
"'We've cut enough,' said Councilman Don Martines.
'We need to raise revenue.
The citizens are getting quite a bargain.'"
Not even a mention of the union contracts and their automatic pay increases.
Not a mention of the retirement benefits and costs.
You can't fix a problem if you refuse to acknowledge the cause of the problem.

Public meeting with Scandia wind farm developers set for Thursday night in Mason County
Public meeting with Scandia wind farm developers set for Thursday night in Mason County
"Scandia wants county boards' acceptance of seeing turbines from shore before starting three years of economic and environmental studies to determine if the $4 billion offshore wind plan is viable."
Attend this meeting and demand they tell you where they will be getting the money to build these studies and the wind farm. (your tax dollars)
And demand they tell us what will happen to electricity rates when they are built. (they'll skyrocket)
And ask yourself if there will be ANY companies left in Michigan when we are the highest energy cost state in the country.

Newspaper Death Act
Newspaper Death Act [Mackinac Center]
"There is no shortage of bad ideas coming out of Lansing. Senate Bill 1285 introduced by Sen. Bruce Patterson, R-Canton, would require customers to pay a deposit on each newspaper they purchase equal to one-half the retail price of the newspaper.
The proposed law would operate much like Michigan's bottle deposit law.
Newspapers would be required to be returned to a redemption center, with each publisher in the state required to operate at least one such center."
Another ridiculous RINO with an astoundingly idiotic bill for Michigan.
Oust this goon in August!

Muskegon County panel deciding on procedure to fill drain commissioner vacancy
Muskegon County panel deciding on procedure to fill drain commissioner vacancy
"Also by state law, the committee consists of Mullally, county Prosecutor Tony Tague and county Clerk Nancy A. Waters. All are elected officials.
Tague and Waters are Democrats; Mullally’s office is nonpartisan.
Whoever they choose will serve only until the county’s voters choose someone Nov. 2 to serve the remaining two years of Hepler’s four-year term.
That’s unless, of course, the panel’s pick runs and wins the election.
And that possibility could make the interim selection politically important. Incumbents typically have the best chance of winning local elections, so if the committee picks one of the election candidates as interim drain commissioner, it could be a valuable political gift.
The timing is interesting.
The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run for the two-year office is 4 p.m. Tuesday. The three-person committee isn’t expected to make its interim selection before then: Mullally said Monday’s meeting is only to decide on the process, such as spelling out a job-application procedure and timetable.
That means the panel will have a choice of already-declared election candidates to pick from — or, if they decide not to influence the election, they could pick someone else to hold the office for just six months or so."
Or the real choice will be that Waters/Tague will make a secret deal with a democrat who will run.
Let's hope they don't do what democrats always do and pick another unqualified union thug.

The Michigan Summit-Van Jones
INFORMATION : The Michigan Summit
People power from the ground up. Social justice. Human rights. Clean energy jobs. Urban cities.
Where do they all intersect?
In East Lansing on Saturday, June 12 when former White House advisor Van Jones takes center stage as our keynote speaker at Progress Michigan's Michigan Summit:

SHOCKER: Source: Terrorist Faisal Shahzad Was Anti-Bush, Anti-War.
“Wow!
It’s a wonder the guy wasn’t co-anchoring at MSNBC.
Maybe he didn’t have the right skin color for that gig?
They pretty much have a white only policy over there, as I recall.”
Indeed.

Times Square Bombing Suspect Formally Charged; Confesses To Receiving Explosives Training - wcbstv.com
"Sources told CBS 2 on Tuesday morning that Shahzad should have been on the United States 'No Fly' terror watch list, and that because he wasn't, he was able to board the plane.
Deputy FBI director John Pistole later said, however, that he was in fact placed on the No Fly list Monday, except it was done hours before he was arrested."
Is anyone wondering, and worrying, about how our government is "profiling" the mass murderers among us?
Tea party tax protestors seem to be on the front burner.
Cash paying Pakistani visitors seem to be getting a pass.
I guess this is "change" Obama style.
Bummer for us...and the entire world.
